Draft Scope/Description:
1.1 General
This Standard covers polyethylene (PE) pipe and tubing, and fittings for use in transporting potable or non-potable water in applications such as water mains, water service lines, building supply lines, wastewater forcemains, reclaimed water, irrigation, district energy, or water-based ground source geothermal systems, in either buried, submerged, or above-ground installations.
1.2 Requirements
This Standard specifies requirements for materials, quality of work, dimensions, sustained pressure, environmental stress cracking, and markings.
